Merged with the Premier League Thread.

The table is a good idea, though. Maybe we can have @Jason, edit his OP here and edit it after each round?

I wish I could quote mine (or others') posts saying that we shouldn't be that worried about City closing the gap when they had all more challenging games to play in the second half of the season.

Even teams like Everton and Arsenal - who are far from brilliant (actually Everton is having a nightmare season and I developed a dislike for them, so yeah, not complaining) challenged them and got points from them.

They had laughable fixtures during the most challenging period of the league while ours was quite the opposite. We've visited all difficult places that were there to visit and the only big team we still have to visit is Arsenal, they have to visit everyone else except Arsenal (and now Everton).

It doesn't mean we can relax - we can't, but they have a high hill to climb in terms of difficult fixtures while we already did that.

Agreed B, a lot of the more level-headed fans who, when the others were shitting their pants, have said all along that City closing the gap was inevitible, have seen this coming from a long way off. Our first "half" of the season was far tougher; they've dropped points in games they should have quite easily won (Burnley, Everton, etc.), all from winning positions as well. We only really have Arsenal away as a tough, potential banana skin - games against City, Liverpool and United at home should produce a minimum at the very least of 7 points, IMO, especially if we want to win the title. City have it all to do; they won't win at Anfield (especially as that game is sandwiched between two games against Barcelona) or Old Trafford, to be sure, and they still have tough games such as Stoke and Tottenham that they have to visit.

QPR and Villa away can be a bit iffy.So hit and miss.

The rest should be winnable..better be anyway!Cant let a gap again and expect to get lucky in terms of City not taking advantage.Then again gotta win against City first.Drop points there and back to less of a comfort gap more of a who goes first sorta thing

Surely, surely, with how shit Villa are, there will never be a better chance to end the Villa Park hoodoo for José.

Fuck, we have to if we want to win this league.

Well he didnt break the Newcastle hoodoo so surely has to end one this season at least.Better bloody do anyway.N QPR seem to take points off us at some point so need to end that as well.Another 6-0 will do fine :D

exactly.points dropped against City and this means not a lot.Still can drop points elsewhere regardless of how easy the fixture looks before it starts

A draw against City is not entirely disastrous but we certainly cannot lose to them.

Just wandering, any point with having the league table here when people could just check on other websites?

Can't dismiss West Ham away as an easy fixture though. Think that one is going to be pretty tricky/tough.

Not disaster be better then loosing and getting sod all.Still be a case of ahh instead of woo in terms of going back to a 3 point gap rather then 8.Less room for error though pressure does help..when they respond

Pretty sure some fellas will moan if we don't beat City.

True though does seem one of the nicer ones.Villa Park Jose hasn't won at and QPR are annoying lol.Saying that like you say not a easy fixture especially seeing as they're doing well at the moment..every game a cup final etc etc
